This is the first time in 15 years that I'm running Ada Lovelace Day without also putting on a big event in London, and I have to admit, it feels kinda weird.

If you have a minute, please share a story of your favourite woman in STEM with the hashtag #ALD25.

I'm very confused by this. I love saunas but can only stay in one for 10-15 mins max at a time. Do they pause while everyone takes cold showers??

The article talks about vaccines being available in 2019, which is clearly incorrect?? Typo or LLM?

Amazing!!

Last time I went to Glasgow I flew, because efficiency. Never again.

The thing I most noticed is my expectation that all helicopters explode massively on impact. That's totally a thing, right?

I'm really enjoying this thread, thanks so much!

I would be absolutely fucking FURIOUS if someone I was talking to online tried to do this to me. I could spot it, but still, fuck you all the way into the sun if you do this.

I really wish they'd used a Cyrano de Bergerac still for the image.

Ahhh that's satisfying

They'll get caught out by the chill as soon as the sun dips away!!

Absolutely agree, but having read the JCVI stuff I can understand why it's not, kinda. I still am eligible (organ transplant/immunosuppression) but my husband is not. Be gentle with the staff if they do say no, eh. They have quite an extensive permissions form to complete before they can jab folks.

I can confirm that household contacts are *not* eligible this year. This is because the vaccine doesn't reduce transmission, only severity, in the recipient. Sorry!

That's gorgeous. I might need some planting tips from you!

About half the jokes I see on HIGNFY these days are social media scrapes, has been that way for a while... I say replace it with The Mash Report 😉😉😉😉😉

They used to have a bit of laminated paper on the wall at the phlebotomist team room I went which explained how to say 'sharp scratch' in 25 languages ^_^

nice!

(specifically from the link in your profile, from the article is fine :))

I just tried to go to your website and my browser says it's not secure, may be worth taking a look at it?

Pictures like that one give me the fear, so I assume I'm some kind of claustrophobe.

I'm also suppressed, though not in an ursine way ;)

What? No

I should probably look into that

This is how I want to be mourned. #CelebrityTraitors #Traitors

I have to say, Tom Daley is HAWT #TheTraitors

This is also why I never verified on Discord 🤷‍♀️
